UNC-Charlotte stadium named for Panthers' owner

After Carolina Panthers' owner Jerry Richardson gave $10 million to build it, the new football stadium at UNC-Charlotte, home to the Charlotte 49ers, will be named in his honor. In a news release, UNC-C Chancellor Phillip Dubois said that Richardson "knows that football can bring the students and the city of Charlotte together and he wanted to be among the first to stand up and state, 'this program is important to me.'''
